Hi Jack,

I am equally fascinated and perplexed by your question. Why do you think that they are disrespecting you? Why do you think that it’s a gender issue? I also find it interesting that you use the word “disrespect” and not some other word that would suggest that you are treated poorly. I’m asking, because I’m genuinely curious. We’re all human beings first and all the gender stuff is secondary. Sure, women might be more perceptive about many things, but being disrespectful towards another human being because of what is being sensed is just bad behavior and unacceptable. Regardless of gender.

All that aside, why would you think that you’re an idiot? Isn’t that a bit harsh? I’m not sure if it matters where those beliefs come from, but they are silly beliefs. The good thing about beliefs is that they’re not the same as reality, and you can choose what you believe. So why on earth would you choose to believe that you’re not good enough?
